Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-22467 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, in the DeepDigital WordPress theme developed by mwtemplates under the deepdigital identifier. This issue affects DeepDigital versions from n/a through 1.0.2 inclusive, as published on 2026-03-05.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction needed, with changed scope and low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Remote attackers can exploit it by crafting malicious input that reflects unsanitized in web page generation, tricking authenticated or unauthenticated users (via phishing links or similar) into executing scripts in their browser context within the affected site.
